  • The Christian Year in Review Significant Events of 1994
    The Christian Year in Review Significant Events of 1994 Brendan Kelleher, SVD JANUARY 1 Pope John Paul II issues an Apostolic Letter Sociarium Scientarium formally estab­ lishing the Papal Academy for the Social Sciences. Among the social scientists from around the world appointed to the Academy are two Japanese, Murakami Yoichiro (Tokyo University) and Nojiri Taketoshi (Osaka Gakuin University.) 5 The Tokyo District of the Salvation Army announces the results of its Community Chest collection which was held over the holiday season. Down a further uS$30,000 from the previous year, the total collected came to $287,000. (Note: While the rel­ ative strength of the yen over against the dollar sees only a drop of $3,000 compared to last year's figures, when converted to dollars, the real value of the drop is near­ er to the figure given.) 11-21 As a follow-up to NICE I and NICE II, the Structural Reorganization Team of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of Japan, under the leadership of Bishop Mori Kazuhiro (Auxiliary Bishop of Tokyo), visited France and Germany to study meth­ ods and programs for the ongoing formation of the laity. 15 A NICE Young People's Network is formed as a follow-up to NICE II which had been criticized by many young people attending as delegates. Delegates from across the country gathered at the meeting at which the Network was formally launched. 13-16 Some 130,000 people gathered at Tokyo Dome during the four nights of the Billy Graham Tokyo International Revival. Some 1,120 Christian churches from across the country cooperated in the preparations for the revival at which some 12,000 signed pledge cards committing themselves to Jesus Christ.
